10. I think you are looking at user accounts through the control panel.

I know it is confusing but they have two different settings pages.

An alternate way to get to the one that lets you revert is to left click on the notification area down by the clock that looks like a chat bubble and chose all settings. Then click on accounts then you should see what i am talking about on the middleish part of the page that opens.

Just looked and it looks like from where I think you are looking at there is a line that says "make changes to my account in pc settings." clicking on that will bring you to the same place.
